Onion, Tomato & Blue Cheese Salad

Sometimes I forget how little it takes to make a great salad. Basically all you need is one in-season veggie along with some salt, pepper, and olive oil to make a knock-your-socks-off salad and this recipe is the perfect example.

Just be sure that you are working with really ripe and seasonal tomatoes since they are the star of the show. I promise you… if your tomatoes aren’t good, you’re salad won’t be good, so don’t waste your time if you have less-than-stellar tomatoes.

I really had fun posting the weekly menu last week and am thinking about making this a monthly feature. Not only is it fun to share with you guys but it really helps me stay organized and committed to my plan as well.

Just a quick question — Have you messed with doing a 15 minute presoak on the onions at all to pull down the bitterness? I’ve got a few great tomatoes around and some nice blue cheese so I’m going to give this a whirl tonight.

Eron – I have tried that.. and it’ really good. I like to do that with my red onions and then use them onto of a big Greek Salad! I’m sure it would be great here as well… but I gotta tell ya, I’m a big fan of raw red onions. What can I say, “I’m a big-flavor kinda girl;)”
